Late 19th C. Louis XVI Style Giltwood Bridal Mirror

About the Item

A charming Louis XVI style giltwood bridal mirror from the late 19thc., decorated with floral motifs and a ribbon crest. A bridal mirror was a traditional wedding gift dating as far back as Ancient Greek times. Often a gift given to the bride, along with a dowry chest, silver, and linens. A bridal mirror typically would have feet that could rest on a lip on her dowry chest, creating a traveling vanity since newly married couples would often not yet own a home of their own. Once they obtained a home, they would typically remove the feet on the mirror and hang the mirror normally. Note: To reduce the cost of shipping we will pay to have this mirror professionally packed in advance of UPS shipping. Dimensions: 37"h x 19.5"w Condition: Good, gilding well preserved, no repairs observed, possibly replacement glass, showing a few spots of oxidation. Small break in upper left hand rope decoration (see photographs). Provenance: A Private Collection: 888 Park Avenue, NYC
